WOLFEBORO — In partnership with New Hampshire Humanities, the New Hampshire Boat Museum will welcome author Daniel J. Boyne to its 2021 Virtual Lecture Series on Thursday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m.
In the lecture, Boyne will discuss his book, The Red Rose Crew which details the first camp-based US women’s eight selection, under Harvard men’s coach Harry Parker, and their unexpected run to a silver medal at the 1975 World Championships in Nottingham, England.
Noting it has been 20 years since the book was first published, NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings said the growth in women’s rowing has been “explosive on all levels.”
“The Red Rose Crew changed the sport of rowing for all women,” she said “Women have so many more opportunities now to be a part of rowing and to really excel.”
The Red Rose Crew: A True Story of Women, Winning, and the Water takes place on Thursday, October 14 at 7 p.m.. The lecture is free and will be available at nhbm.org.
The lecture program was made possible with support from New Hampshire Humanities in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities. Learn more at nhhumanities.org.
